Batting first, RCB managed to score only 135/6 in 20 overs, courtesy Ellyse Perrys 66 off 50 balls.
In reply, MI ended up at 130/5 in 20 overs, failing to breach the RCB total.
Will you bowl the last over?
Of course I can?
Hear from Captain @mandhana_smriti Asha Shobhana on the final-over call that successfully paid off for @RCBTweets ?#TATAWPL | #MIvRCB | #Eliminator pic.twitter.com/IqKs8cY7xb

MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr made significant contributions with their bats, scoring 33 and 27 respectively, but all that were much less than the effort to reach the final.
RCB will now take on Meg Lannings Delhi Capitals in the final clash on Sunday.
